Getting his first start for the U.S. men’s national soccer team, Islander Jordan Morris scored his first goal in international competition as the U.S. defeated Mexico 2-0 Wednesday night in San Antonio.

Morris, a 20-year-old sophomore at Stanford, scored in the 49th minute, finishing off a drive led by teammate Michael Bradley to put the U.S. ahead 1-0.

Juan Agudelo replaced Morris in the 65th minute and scored the second goal for the U.S. seven minutes later.

Morris was considered for the Man of the Match award following the game, but deemed ineligible as the award is sponsored by Budweiser and he’s not yet 21 years of age.
